The Federal Bureau of Investigation has placed a reward of US $ 1,00,000 on Ruja Ignatova, known as Cryptoqueen. He is also on the FBI's list of top 10 fugitives.

Ruja left for Greece on 17 October 2017 in a flight from Bulgaria. Since then no trace of him could be found. There is still a mystery about his whereabouts. Meanwhile, media reports have come to know in the past that she is trying to sell the apartment in London, which was bought in the name of the company. When it was listed for sale, Ruja's name and details were given in place of the original owner.
One of the biggest scam in the world
Federal agencies in America believe that this is one of the biggest fraud schemes in the world. From the end of the year 2014 to the year 2016, the company received an investment of $ 4 billion from 175 countries. $50 million was invested in OneCoin from the US alone. The company, which was claiming to work on the Multilevel Networking Marketing model, was running a Ponzi scheme.
There was already a plan of fraud
Ruja had thought from the beginning that she had to commit fraud. The investigating agencies have received evidence of this in the form of e-mail. In which he told OneCoin co-founder Greenwood that we do not actually mine any cryptocurrency. But people tell such false things. He had already prepared the strategies to be adopted in the event of sinking of the company. Ruja once told the co-founder that if this happened, he should run away with all the money and blame someone else.
